There are two categories of abortions: medical and surgical.
A medical (or medication) abortion, commonly referred to as the “abortion pill,” involves taking a series of two pills to end and then expel the pregnancy. The first pill is often taken at the doctor’s office, and the second pill is typically taken at home at least 24 hours later. Medical abortions can be used up to the first ten weeks of pregnancy.
While the abortion pill is only FDA-approved up to the first ten weeks of pregnancy, surgical abortions do not have the same restrictions. Depending on how far along you are, there are different procedures, but all involve a surgical procedure to end the pregnancy.
If you’ve had an abortion and are struggling with unexpected emotions in the aftermath, we can help. Although abortion affects women differently, some women experience emotions like regret and guilt after abortions, but there is healing and hope!
